Parallel repetition of normal form verifiers in the commuting-operator model #
The soundness clause of thm:parallel-repetition read in ω_co (item "repetition" of Phase 2
of planning/mipco-track.md). Nothing about the verifier is new: the output's game is the
repeated game in every value model (MIPRE.val_repVerifier), so soundness in a model is the
game-level repetition bound in that model (MIPRE.val_repVerifier_le). What this file adds is
that bound for ω_co, from the vendored uniform theorem
MIPRE.Repetition.commutingOperatorValue_repeat_le (thm:direct-repetition-co):
valco(G^{⊗k}) ≤ exp(-c ε'^7 k / (ε' + log(|𝒜||ℬ|)))withε' = 1 - valco(G) ≥ ε; the exponent7is better than the tensor theorem's13, andε^13 ≤ ε'^7becauseε ≤ ε' ≤ 1, so the arithmetic of the tensor bound applies unchanged (Repetition.exp_le_soundBound), with its own constantrepConstCo(gameSoundIn_commuting).- One procedure must serve both models, and the structure
Repetitionhas one constant, which the compression uses to choose the number of repetitions. So the commuting-operator reading isrepetitionCo, the same procedure at the smaller of the two constants (Repetition.withConst), sound in both models (repetitionCo_soundIn_commuting; the tensor clause is its field). The main theorem keepsrepetitionitself, whose constant does not mention the commuting-operator theorem, soMIP* = REdoes not depend on it.
The universal constant of thm:direct-repetition-co.
Instances For
The constant of the commuting-operator repetition bound for answers of bounded length:
c / (1 + 2 log 3).
Equations
Instances For
Game-level soundness of direct repetition for commuting-operator strategies, in the form
of Repetition.soundness: for a game with answers of length at most B, valco(G) ≤ 1 - ε
gives valco(G^{⊗k}) ≤ exp(-c' ε^13 k / (B + 1)).
The commuting-operator model has the direct repetition bound at repConstCo.
The constant of the procedure read in both models: the smaller of repConst and
repConstCo.
Instances For
Parallel repetition of normal form verifiers for both values: repetition ℓ at the
constant Repetition.repConstBoth, the smaller of the two repetition constants. It is the same
procedure — sampler, decider, complexity clause and completeness are those of repetition ℓ —
and its soundness clause holds in both models.
Equations
Instances For
Parallel repetition is sound in the commuting-operator model (blueprint
thm:parallel-repetition-co): the procedure's soundness clause read in ω_co, from the
vendored commuting-operator repetition theorem through the value-independent bridge from the
verifier to the repeated game.
